Secondary site repository

[Lyonel]

I have 2 2008 servers dedicaded file sharing in 2 away sites.
With a single dedup, less datas were transfered on the network and stocked on the repository.

Lyonel,

What type of repository are you using in conjunction with Veeam B&R?

[Lyonel]

Actually our infrastructure in headquarter is in Beta but we are buying a Synology rackstation.

In away sites, endpoint agents are in solo , not plug with the B&R. Maybe in the future i download vbk's file to make incremental backup in the HQ too.

Indeed, mapping is supported. Another option might be to setup a local repository and add it to the VBR. Traffic flows directly to the repository in case of local gateway server.

[Lyonel]

That's the question i ask me.

If i do that the traffic stay in the away site and don't make go and back to the HQ site. Just little informations about the success or failed backup status?

[Dima P.]

Yes, that should work. By the way, email reporting can be configured locally on VEB or globally via VBR.

[Lyonel]

Just tested and it's not ok, the router transfer many datas and use all the bandwidth.

[Dima P.]

Lyonel,

What type of repository you've setup at secondary site?

P.S. Moved our discussion to the separate forum's thread.

[Lyonel]

it's an usb disk

on B&R server i created a repository like that:

\\srv-awaysite\f$

f is the letter for the usb disk

So after that, i change backup setup from local storage to B&R repo

[Dima P.]

Check your repository gateway properties in VBR. For CIFS the default gateway is VBR and you need to change it to any secondary site server.

[Lyonel]

Ho ok,

but how to add this secondary server, i have just the B&R one who is offers?

[Dima P.]

Add server like descried here, then it should be possible to set it up as a gateway for the repository.

[Lyonel]

ok it's done.

On the edit backup, i must change the mount server by the local one for futures files restores stay in the away site, isn't it?
And the vpower NFS must stay enabled?

[Dima P.]

Sorry for delay.

Yes, thats true.

And the vpower NFS must stay enabled?

vPower NFS Service is not required for VEB.
